- Click on “Write” in the navigation menu. This will default to the Post page.
- Title field: Enter the title of your post (something descriptive).
- Post field: Type out your post using any of the formatting tools you want.
- Tags field: These are single word descriptors (separated by commas) that help people search for your post. You might choose “Ingredients, arugula, sauce, pasta, cream, cheese, parmesan” etc.
